Wouldn't that not work because of the existing stove opening? Seems to me raising the height of the top would leave a gap between the bottom of stove and cabinet.
Could perhaps fill in the gap with matching wood (if available) but if his counter can be easily pulled out (which it now seems) that's probably the easier way to go.

This^^, but my experience says the counter from manufacturers is usually cheaper particle board verses the better MDF. Either way removal is the same. I installed counters for years and some got glued down but most were just screwed down, but after the laminate had been pre-applied. I wouldn't be surprised though if an RV top was Glued and Screwed.
Edit: if glued, a crowbar or wrecking bar can pry up the countertop from the cabinet but be sure to pry overtop of the vertical frame pieces and not on the cross bars that go over drawers or cabinet openings. They could be popped out of alignment. Best would also be to do this from inside the cabinet as to not ruin the outer finish.
Good luck.

I would strongly suggest you contact Georgie Boy to see what they say. I am sure there is as many tie downs and screwed/glued combinations as the mind can imagine.

What type is it?
Typically if it is laminant the sub straight is screwed or stapled down, laminant is then glued on.
If it is solid surface it will be glued down with silicone.
When I have removed both of my counter tops, i simply set my circular saw to make shallow cuts, cut the counter top, and pryed them up and carried them out in pieces. No damage.
